Jupiter 43 SF

The Jupiter 43 SF was designed to take the best fishing elements of a sportfish and blend them with the best features of a center console.

After a first glimpse of the pre-production version at the 2018 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, Jupiter launches its 43 SF in Miami as the newest production model. With a “fish first” design emphasis, the fully customizable center console was developed to blend the best fishing elements of a top sportfisherman and a center console. Performance is also a priority. The company’s trademark hull design creates a stern lift that increases efficiency and speed yet offers a smooth ride.

The port and starboard dive doors with removable ladder are a nice standard feature is. A Seakeeper gyrostabilizer is optional.

A fuel capacity of 602 usable gallons offers an excellent range. She cruises at a comfortable 40-plus mph. The Jupiter 43 SF tops out at 60-plus mph with quad Yamaha F350 outboards.
